Patent CA-2268207-A1 (CA)
Title: Fuel vapor management system
Inventor: FREELAND MARK
IPC: B60K15/04
Filed: 1999-04-01
Abstract: A fuel vapor emission control system for an automobile includes a fuel filler pipe, a filler cap, a check valve, a fuel tank, a carbon canister or other vapor storage device, a reservoir, and a vapor tube fog conducting fuel vapor from one or more tank vent valves located on the fuel tank. The system reduces the amount of vapor mass which exits the fuel tank to the carbon canister by condensing some of the vapor sent to the canister during refueling. Fuel entering the filler pipe is used as a condensing agent. The system also reduces the amount of vapor pumped to the vapor storage device during diurnal cycles by permitting the volume of the fuel tank to change in response to changes in pressure within the tank.

Title: Roller attachment for road grader
Inventor: MEHEW CAROLYN EDITH
IPC: E02F3/76
Filed: 1999-04-13
Abstract: An attachment assembly is provided for quickly and conveniently mounting a roller onto and immediately ahead of an elongate blade of a road grader or other vehicle which manipulates and moves the blade over a ground surface. The portable roller has an elongate body with a continuous cylindrical outer surface for contacting and working the ground surface, and an axle element about which the roller rotates and which protrudes from each opposed end of the roller body. The attachment assembly is removably receivable on the blade and rotatably holds the roller by the protruding axle element. The location and orientation of the roller relative to the ground surface is controlled by manipulating the blade. The assembly provides an alternative to traditional road grading, namely by allowing a road grader to carry a roller to simultaneously level and compact a ground surface, such as a gravel road.

Patent CA-2289367-A1 (CA)
Title: Drilling tool with expandable elements
Inventor: SHESHTAWY ADEL
IPC: E21B10/32
Filed: 1999-11-12
Abstract: A tool for expanding a hole size while drilling tool is disclosed. The tool utilizes a mechanically actuated mandrel and extendable cutting lugs designed in a configuration with fewer moving parts than previous designs. The cutting lugs have multiple cutting elements attached. The cutting lugs are driven between two cylindrical diameter surfaces to achieve a large differential between the retracted and extended positions of the tool, and to provide sufficient stability to allow the tool to be used in the extended position while drilling forward. The lugs are internally assembled and tapered to closely match the slots in the body of the tool for additional stability and to prevent complete passage through the tool for prevention of catastrophic failure. The tool has a locking mechanism to allow the tool to remain in the extended position when the weight is removed from the tool. In an alternate embodiment, the cutting lugs may be replaced with stabilizing lugs having a wear resistant surface or mounted with wear resistance elements to form an expanding drill string stabilizer.

Patent CA-2295273-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RONCA DAVID RANDELL
IPC: H04M3/50
Filed: 2000-01-12
Abstract: A resource allocation manager to allocate resources to handle applications in a messaging system includes a database storing a set of resource allocation rules to govern the allocation of resources to applications. A resource allocation engine is responsive to events that potentially effect the manner in which resources are allocated. The resource allocation agent accesses the database and interprets the resource allocation rules in response to events to determine if the events warrant a reallocation of resources to handle applications. Allocation agents are responsive to the resource allocation engine and reallocate resources to handle applications when detected events warrant a reallocation of resources. A method of allocating resources in a messaging system is also provided.

Patent CA-2296249-A1 (CA)
Title: Steering responsive power boost
Inventor: HOU RAYMOND YIFEI
IPC: B62D11/08
Filed: 2000-01-19
Abstract: A steering control system for a tracked vehicle includes an engine driven variable displacement steering pump which drives a hydraulic motor. A control system senses steering wheel position, vehicle speed, engine speed and forward/reverse vehicle direction. As a function of these sensed inputs, a control signal is generated and is used to control the swashplate angle of an engine-driven variable displacement pump which drives a steering motor which drives a differential track drive mechanism. The control system also determines a ratio of motor speed to vehicle speed and generates a powerboost signal when the ratio exceeds a threshold value. The powerboost signal is communicated to the engine controller which causes the engine to increase its power output. This modifies the engine fuel delivery curve based on the steering system power requirement and increases the power available for turning the vehicle.

Abstract: A suspension system supports an implement on a work vehicle and includes a linkage mechanism providing pivotal connection between the work vehicle and the implement and adapted to pivot in such manner as to permit relative upward and downward movement between the vehicle and the implement while maintaining a controlled or selected orientation between them. A hydraulic actuator capable of extending and retracting is operatively connected between the work vehicle and the implement so as to effect the pivotal motion of said linkage and relative motion between the vehicle and implement. A shock absorber is interposed between the hydraulic actuator and one of the work vehicle and the implement for absorbing shock loadings tending to pass between the vehicle and the implement via said hydraulic actuator when in use. The shock absorber includes an elongated link mounted for pivotal motion at a point between opposing ends thereof. One end portion of the elongated link is connected to an end of the actuator and the other end of the link is in a load transmitting relation to a resilient cushion whereby forces exerted by or on said actuator tend to effect pivotal motion of the elongated link and are transformed into compression forces on the resilient cushion.
